If you are of mind to be
Threatened by forbidden emotions
Horrified by malicious desires
Alarmed by irrational anger
Mortified by humiliations
Then, mind that you don’t
Condemn the mind that acts
Out those condemnable acts
But meet these fears and desires
Amicably, in maitrī
Heed their sweet
Or violent importuning
Receive their message
And let them go
